Female Kill Machine
Female Kill Machine is a lightning-paced absurdist quantum explosion of ever-escalating cyberpunk insanity and hyperviolence from the popular children's author of Spiders Are Wonderful and Do Not Disturb The Dragon.
"It was the end of the 21st century. The space race had been won. The solar system had been colonised, the limits of human expansion had been reached. We had everything we wanted right here. Total corporate control of civilisation had been achieved. Quantum computing and nanotech alchemy allowed for the creation of any and every desired product at the instant of verified order confirmation and successful payment processing.
"It was a true utopia for all.
"In a world like this, there was only one frontier left on which any self respecting decillionaire could compete, and that was to try and perfect the ultimate technology and finally create a fully autonomous Female Kill Machine."

The author stated that he finished writing this story on 8th August 2021, edited it for one day, then published it on 10th August 2021. The short editing period shows because there were a lot of mistakes left in the book.
For example:
1. Tortuous instead of torturous
2. Tense mixup: "from then on she strides" instead of strode
3. Swopped instead of swooped.
4. You instead of your. E.g "I did it for you own good!"
5. "Be done it with" instead of "be done with it".
Another point to note is the way the story is structured, with lots of short sub-chapters, some of which are only one-line long. When I looked through the preview, I thought it was fun, but I found that it gets tiresome after a while, especially after one of the mistakes pulls me out of the story.
Despite all this, I still found some moments of pure glee where I could only grin at the insanity that was happening on the page. I also found the satirical capitalism-run-amok setting to be quite funny. I just wish the author had spent some more time working on the book.
